Dengue Virus Dynamic and Persistence in Body Fluids of Infected Patients in Italy, 2018–2023
ABSTRACT Dengue, a mosquito‐borne disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV), is constantly expanding worldwide. We investigated the presence and persistence of DENV RNA in the bloodstream and other body fluids to describe the viral kinetics in the human host. We longitudinally collected serum (n = 118), plasma (n = 110), whole blood (n = 90), urine (n =

Seropositivity to Dengue, Zika, Yellow Fever, and West Nile Viruses in Senegal, West Africa
ABSTRACT West Africa serves as a critical region for the co‐circulation of mosquito‐borne flaviviruses, which often precipitate sporadic outbreaks. This study investigated the seropositivity to dengue virus serotypes 1–4 (DENV‐1–4), Zika virus (ZIKV), yellow fever virus (YFV), and West Nile virus (WNV) in three regions of Senegal: Sindia, Thies, and ...

ABSTRACT Aedes albopictus is an important vector of various arboviruses, including dengue virus (DENV). The vector capacity for DENV has been studied in various geographical regions, but information on Korean Ae. albopictus strains are limited. This study aimed to investigate the vector capacity of the Korean Ae.

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.

Neuroimmune Pain and Its Manipulation by Pathogens
ABSTRACT Recent studies highlight extensive crosstalk that exists between sensory neurons responsible for pain and the immune system. Cutaneous pain neurons detect harmful microbes, recruit immune cells, and produce anticipatory immunity in nearby tissues. These complementary systems generally protect hosts from infections.

In this study, we found that simultaneous infection with neurotropic Semliki Forest virus (SFV) and respiratory influenza A virus (IAV) does not lead to exacerbated or attenuated disease compared with the single virus infection control groups. However, coinfection impairs IAV immunity demonstrated by enhanced IAV replication in the lungs and decreased ...

Prolonged Fever in Children: An Inpatient Diagnostic Framework for Infections in Australia
ABSTRACT There are many causes of fever in children, ranging from common and self‐limiting to serious and life threatening. Careful assessment of children with prolonged fever without an obvious or identified source requires detailed history and examination with consideration of infections unique to the specific geographical region and individual ...

Abstract Background In many countries, including Brazil, time‐based blood donation deferral policies for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) have been replaced by individual donor assessment (IDA). We examined HIV prevalence and incidence among first‐time (FTD) and repeat donors (RD), comparing data from ~3.5 years before and ...

The first case of transfusion‐transmitted hepatitis B virus genotype I in Japan
Abstract Background In Japan, the risk of transfusion‐transmitted hepatitis B virus (TT‐HBV) infection has been reduced since 2014 by implementing individual donation nucleic acid amplification testing (ID‐NAT). Case Report A male repeat blood donor in his 20s converted positive for HBV DNA and hepatitis B surface antigen. Red cell concentrate from his
